Darkstone

Unplayable. cannot change resolution, cannot map key bindings, cannot read any text or HUD values. Terrible terrible waste of money even if it is 1 dollar.

Once you get it working with fan made patches and adjustments, the game runs overall well on modern hardware. The biggest issue I experienced with Darkstone, if you tab out and tab back in, the games resolution may get miffed up. A simple exit and reload will address the problem - given the game gives you the luxury to save at anytime, this hardly poses a problem (just don't forget to save!). The quest system is kinda odd as you don't really get a quest log, but a recording of all the important things side and otherwise.

great dungeon crawler game

Not just a classic for nostalgia's sake, but genuinely a good game. Multiplayer over LAN is easy to set up, too, so great for family gaming nights. Easily worth the low price.

I play old games. I cant think of any where you cant look around with the mouse at least SOMEHOW Forget gameplay, 100% of your brain will be devoted to moving and adjusting the camera. I recently came to the conclusion that i dont like games with TANK controls, this is worse. This is worse. Also outfits dont change your characters apperance so its like a video game that isnt one

Just an excellent old fashioned dungeon crawling rpg, highly nostalgic!
